The grades on this prototype allow for steepness, but scenery is a key player.<br /><br />I'm thinking that I'll use my daughter's room dimensions for the standard and see how much I can cram in.<br /><br />I'll start the drawings for the room dimensions this weekend.<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><input id="gwProxy" type="hidden"><!--Session data--><input onclick="jsCall();" id="jsProxy" type="hidden"><div id="refHTML"></div>Scott G.
